Hiking
The highest point on Eigg at 393m climbing An Sgùrr offers incredible views of the island and neighbouring Rum. The mountain was formed when a volcano erupted, filling the local valley with lava. This cooled and solidified, over time the softer surrounding rock eroded away leaving An Sgùrr as an inverted valley.
